My name is Psalms White and I am a Communications Major/ Music Minor at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. After taking African-American History in the 10th grade, I was appauled by the amount of AMERICAN history that has been extracted from our curriculum in order to push the idea of American exceptionalism. Since taking that class, I've been adamant about keeping people informed through different forms of social media, but in recent months I've realized that a couple daily posts on Facebook isn't enough. I made this blog with hopes that once people became congizant of the information withheld from them, they would be convicted to rise to action. Pressure needs to be put on the companies that make our textbooks, like The College Board, to stop leaving out chunks of history for the sake of avoiding white guilt. Please stand in the fight with me so that future generations will know their history and move the nation forward... as we have failed to do. The manipulation ends here.
